PREFACE. 


The  present  work  is  but  the  proper  sequel  to  the  Union  Spell- 
er. It  comes  forth  in  response  to  a  call,  long  since  made  and 
often  repeated,  for  some  exercises  in  spelling,  suitable  for  the 
higher  classes  in  Schools  and  for  Teachers'  Institutes. 

The  standard  adopted  is  the  new  Illustrated  Edition  of  Web- 
ster's American  Dictionary.  No  orthographical,  or  orthoepical 
principle,  rule,  analogy,  or  tendency,  therefore,  laid  down  and  ap- 
proved in  that  great  w  ork,  is  here  left  without  ample  illustration. 

The  number  of  Avords  introduced  is  about  five  thousand. 
These  include  all  those  about  which  people  are  most  apt  to 
differ,  or  to  be  at  a  loss.  And  wherever,  in  such  cases,  the  doubt 
is  removable  by  appeal  to  established  rule,  or  to  reputable  usage, 
the  rule,  or  the  usage  is  either  given,  or  referred  to,  in  a  brief 
explanatory  note. 

Where,  as  often  haj^pens,  the  ear  is  likely  to  mislead  the  eye^ 
as  in  spelling  dac'  tyl^  (iyl),  and  due'  t'de,  (ttle),  re  cede\  (cede)^  and 
8UC ceed^  (ceed),  the  v,ords  presenting  such  points  of  resemblance, 
are  purposely  put  under  each  other.  This  is  done  in  order  to 
inculcate  these  differences  by  the  force  of  comparison. 

In  more  than  half  of  the  Exercises  the  words  are  all  defined. 
Many,  moreover,  are  further  explained  in  notes;  while  all  are 
divided  into  syllables  and  duly  accented. 

Such,  in  brief,  is  the  Test-Speller  ;  in  the  preparation  of 
which  the  author  has  kept  steadily  in  view  the  particular  w^ant 
to  be  supplied,  and  thus  sought  to  obviate  the  very  natural  olrjec- 
tion  to  an  ordinary  Spelling-book  for  advanced  pupils. 


Entered,  according  to  Act  of  Congress,  in  the  year  1866,  by 

CHARLES    TV.    8ANDEUS, 

In  tho  Clerk's  Onice  of  the  District  Court  of  the  United  States,  for  the  Southern 

District  of  New  York.

TO    THE    PUPIL. 


In  the  Key  to  the  Pronunciation,  on  the  next  two 
pages,  joii  will  iind,  for  3^0111*  guidance,  a  number  of 
little  marks  or  signs  over^  under,  or  across  the  several 
letters  to  indicate  their  sounds.  It  is  necessary  to  be 
perfectly  familiar  with  these. 

Observ^e,  also,  in  studying  your  lessons,  how  each 
word  is  divided  into  syllables,  and  which  syllable  bears 
the  mark  (')  of  the  accent.  This  last  is  very  impor- 
tant ;  for  (among  other  reasons)  a  change  of  accent 
often  involves  an  entire  change  of  ineaning.  Thus, 
col  led'  means  io  gather  together ,  but  coV  led  means  a 
short  jprayer. 

Between  the  two  words  conn'  sel  or  and  coun'  cil  or, 
you  notice,  there  is  little,  or  no  difference  in  souiul. 
But,  in  the  spelling,  there  is  a  difference.  In  coiin'- 
selor.  you  observe,  the  second  syllable  is  sel :  in  conn'- 
cil  or,  the  second  syllable  is  cil. 

Differences  of  this  kind  often  lead  to  mistakes  in 
spelling.  Hence,  when  such  cases  occur  in  the  lessons, 
as  often  they  will,  they  must  be  carefully  noted,  for 
this  will  serve  to  fix  them  in  your  mind. 

Some  of  the  marks,  as  tlie  star  (^),  the  dagger  (f), 
&c.,  point  to  notes  at  the  foot  of  the  page.  Make  it 
alwa^^s  a  part  of  your  lesson  to  know  accurately  what 
these  notes  teach.

KEY    TO    THE    PRONUNCIATION. 

REGULAR    DIPHTHONGAL    SOUNDS. 

oi,  or  oy  (unmarked),  as  in. .  .oil,  join,  oyster,  toy. 
ou,  or  ow  (unmarked),  as  in . .  out,  hound,  owl,  vovrel. 

C  O  N"  S  O  IN"  -A.  JN'T  S  , 

c,  sqft^  like  s  sharp,  as  in Qede,  cite,  mercy, 

•e,  hardy  liive  A',  as  in -eall,  -eoneur,  success. 

cli  (unmarked),  as  in chikl,  much,  torching. 

gh,  soft,  like  sh,  as  in ghaise,  machine. 

€h,  hard^  like  /j,  as  in -ehord,  chorus,  epo^h. 

g,  hard,  as  in get,  begin,  foggy. 

g,  soft,  like/,  as  in _ gem,  gin,  elegy. 

s,  sJiarp  (unmarked),  as  in..  .  .same,  yes,  rest. 
g,  softy  or  vocal,  Kke  2,  as  in. . .  ha.^,  pri§m,  amuge. 
th,  sharp)  (unmarked),  as  iii. .  .thin,  breacli,  healthy. 

ih,  fiat,  or  vocal,  as  in .thine,  smooth,  Avither. 

ng  (unmarked),  as  in "^'hig,  sing,  single. 

n,  as  in liijger,  link,  uncle. 

X.  like  ^2,  as  in e§ist,  example,  exhaust. 

pli,  like/,  Qs  in phantom,  sylph. 

qu,  like  kw,  as  in queen,  conquest. 

wh,  like  hw,  as  in what,  when,  awhile. 

When  one  letter  of  an  improper  diplitliong,  or  of  a  triphthong,  is 
marked,  it  is  to  be  taken  as  representing  the  sound  of  the  whole  com- 
bination, and  the  letter  or  letters  which  ajx  not  marked,  are  to  be  re- 
garded  as  silent,  as  in  aim,  clean,  ceil,  people,  group,  soul,  tow,  &:c.      1 

In  the  following  work,  all  letters  printed  in  Italics,  are  silent,  j 
This,  however,  is  done  only  where  mistakes  in  i^ronunciation  are 
otherwise  likely  to  be  made. 

Words  and  syllables  very  irregular  in  respect  to  pronunciation, 
as  colonel,  {kur'  nel),  are  often  rcspelled.  So,  also,  words  from  for- 
eign languages,  as  coup  de  main,  {koo  de  maiu/),  and,  in  the  case  of 
those  from  the  French,  the  combination  ng  (as  above)  is  used,  in  this 
book,  merely  to  denote  the  nasal  sound  in  the  syllables  an,  en,  on,  &c., 
in  that  language. 


/ 


TO    TEAOHEES. 


There  are  few  things  in  wliicli  the  art  of  questioning 
can  be  more  attractively  and  etfectively  employed  than 
in  the  conduct  of  exercises  such  as  the  follovvinsr. 

Every  inarlc  or  sign^  accompanying  the  letters,  what- 
ever its  office,  to  say  nothing  of  tlie  various  offices  of 
the  letters  themselves,  will  furnish  opportunities  for  the 
use  of  this  method. 

Why,  for  example,  we  may  ask,  in  the  word  ya(?At'- 
ing,  are  the  letters  ch  printed  in  italics?  What  means 
the  mark  (')  over  the  first  syllable?  Does  the  mark 
of  the  accent  affi^ct  a  particular  letter^  or  a  particular 
syllaUe  f  How  does  accent  differ  from  emphasis  f 
"What  is  the  meaninor  of  the  dot  under  the  a  m  vac'At'- 
ing  ?  Does  it  denote  one  of  the  Regular  or  one  of  the 
Occasional  sounds  of  that  letter?  How  many  Regular 
sounds  has  each  of  the  vowels?  How  manv  Occasion- 
al  f  Has  the  letter  a  any  sound  except  those  laid  down 
in  the  Key,  as  Regular  and  Occasional?  (See  San- 
ders' Union  Speller,  p.  37.) 

These  questions  may  take  any  desirable  rani^e. 
Tiiey  should  bring  out,  at  least,  everything,  whether 
in  the  text  or  in  the  notes,  that  may  serve  to  illus- 
trate the  words  under  notice.
